[Nook Touch General] traycold:
hi,

while i'm not totally sure, i suppose you can definitely uninstall both superuser and busybox.

In any case, the modified ramdisk with ADB enabled (either WiFi or USB) is enough to allow you to push/pull files to Nook, and to open a shell (as root).

Busybox is just convenient if you plan to use shell sessions since it includes commands like cp to copy files, and others, but you can live without it (using ADB push to copy files, or using command dd, for instance).

Superuser, if you refer to android application (APK) it's just used by all other applications requiring root privileges (like RootExplorer, for instance), but if you don't plan to use them, then it's not needed.

In any case, you have practically my same configuration (as close as possible as stock firmware): after all, i use Nook just to read books, so don't need custom launcher and google apps! I would just mention XorZone modification that is really useful for me, since it's can act as a sort of launcher, and can deal with useful features like button remapping. The only other application i have installed is this PDF reader, since the stock one is really poor, while this one has a better zoom management, and also has specific features for e-ink devices and expecially for the Nook (like partial refresh).

Of course, to install the applications, i just use ADB.
[Nook Touch General] persichini:
Ok so something must have gone wrong when I installed your screen saver mod if i was stuck in a boot loop. Because I assuming you have it installed on yours with out superuser, and busybox... i just i can just install them now and then it should still work.

I also just use the nook to read EPUB book, i have a very nice android tablet that i use for anything and everything else. I would much rather have a high battery life on the nook then bells and whistles i don't ever use.
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
If you're running linux or have access to a linux box, you could just grab noogie and it should show all partitions. With this you could make the changes without ever having to touch the uRamdisk or ADB or needlessly installing anything to actually root the device.

As it is if you were to try this your way you'd have to first root it using like Minimal Nooter or TouchNooter then remove everything you don't want afterwards (su/superuser/busybox/gapps/etc).

Personally what I did was I installed touchnooter and because I like my devices to appear stock I left all the buttons unmodified while leaving a very faint button savior icon on one side that'll allow me access to android launcher the app drawer etc. This way I can use it like a proper android device without having it appear as anything more than a basic reader.
[Nook Touch General] persichini:
Hmm interesting...

What i did was i restored to stock... so my nook was completely unrooted...

Switched the uRamdisk using noogie then ADB the following files over and set the permission...

android.policy.jar [needed only for "current book cover screensaver"];

services.jar [needed only for "current book cover screensaver"];

Settings.apk [needed only for "current book cover screensaver"];

framework.jar [needed only for "custom shutdown image"];

What your saying is just use noogie and linux to replace the files and set the permissions.

I plan on Dual Booting my G-Tablet with linux so i can resize the partitions on the nook, I'm going to try your suggestion and see how it goes..
[Xperia Arc General] ST4YSTR0NG:
To all those with a lot of knowledge to all custom roms, please post the most complete custom roms or at least the ones with least bugs and issues.
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Definitely CM7 imo. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] martin132014:
CM7 is great and what im using right now but have issues with camera in video recording...
[Xperia Arc General] johnbarleycorn:
Cm7.2 (52) is great, but not work radio fm and the default app crash on the video recording hd.

all custom roms I've tried work well, I tried:

1) arconium

2) aniking

3) mod xperia

4) Fasty

I still think that the best is the SE.TWEAKED, as a general balance, lightness and speed.

All tested with V15 DoomKernel
[Xperia Arc General] S L A Y E R:
try MIUI you wont be disappointed
[Xperia Arc General] johnbarleycorn:
MIUI I miss, but even that seems to have something that does not work properly (FM radio, HDMI, and anything else I can not remember).

Which version you recommend?
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
arconium 5.6, perfect and fast and no bugs.
[Xperia Arc General] pradeepvizz:
Guys, very recently i got the S2 for my bro and let me tell you that i am hard core SE fan and that is why i still want to hold the ARC with me :D

That said, i find the stock samsung's ROM very stable usable and fast, especially when compared to SE's stock ROM

Any comparisons/experience to S2's Stock/custom ROM with ours?
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
One of my classmates has a S2 and I had the stock ROM + SuperCharger V6 @ 1.4GHz on my Arc (arconium 5.6) now and I couldn't see a real difference
[Xperia Arc General] pradeepvizz:
Thanks , ill try that out :D
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
noticed the same by a colleague. ;)

[Xperia Arc General] jason_jiang:
using arconium ROM by doomed151 and Advanced Stock kernel by DooMLoRD
[Xperia Arc General] darkace007:
Arconium rim works best for me :D hehehe
[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
Take stock ROM, root it, de-bloat it (uninstall all the system apps you don't use), set up SuperCharger and you're good to go.

Don't be fooled, only CM7 is a real custom ROM.

All the rest fall into the category I described: rooted, bebloated stock ROMs.

Oh! And if you need extra speed and you're willing to sacrifice a few hours of battery life, unlock bootloader and flash a custom kernel.

That should do it. :)
[Xperia Arc General] kradcliffe:
Agreed. No point messing around with custom ROMs when the stock ROM only needs cleaned up a bit. Don't see the benefit in Supercharger if you have already uninstalled all the crapware as there's nothing running on the CPU to consume the battery power

I have had the LT18i since it came out and it's lightning fast and the battery life is great. Nuff said :)

Keith
[Xperia Arc General] bassie112:
Yes I did the same. But still Arconium is a lot faster and lag-free compared to cleaned stock with supercharger and the same overclocking. Really it's the best and fastest rom together with CM (if you like that) and I tried a lot. The only downside is you will get worse battery performance in stand-by (twice as worse; up to 3%/h)when you install a custom overclock kernel even at the same clock speeds. So first try with stock kernel and of you need more speed (like 1.4GHz) go to custom kernels.
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
IMO Complete custom ROM is MIUI as if now with less bugs. CM has few bugs that has to be fixed. As stated above other are just modified version of stock.

@iridaki : When can we see your T.E.A.M ROM?
[Xperia Arc General] rainbowsixpro1:
arconium + doomkernel is the best of all !

miui is same as cm7 is video camera lags..
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
And please if possible T.E.A.M. for the Neo too, saw the screenshots and it looks amazing!

[Xperia Arc General] mr.bashi:
Hi there!

Is their any other ROM outside apart from Cyanogen 7** with the possibility to

disable the "xperia-unlock-slider" ? I mean a chance to disable the original xperia-slider if I use a security screen lock like a password or pattern?

Since the last months I'm running FreeXperia Project CyanogenMod to solve this problem. Up to date FXP052 from XDA.

Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Arc General] ST4YSTR0NG:
Thanks a lot everyone for your replies, I think I'll try out Arconium.

I'm not sure about AniKing Ice Cream since it doesn't say anything about bugs or things that are not working. I wanted a ROM with HDMI and FM radio working.
[Defy General] Sidz4u:
I am on WIUI 1.12.16 ICS build.

Yesterday, dont know what struck my mind, and i just happend to UnderClock my defy. I underclocked it to 600 Mhz, and to my surprise, i didnt find any lag.

The phone is running smooth as earlier (as at 1.1 Ghz).

Profit : Am saving considerable Juice :D :cool:

No effect on homescreen scrolling, multitasking, opening of app drawer, etc.

Infact all my games (Adrenaline HD, GTA III, BattleHomerun 3D, etc) are running the same way they did when phone was OverClocked :D

Am using the following Clock Frequencies & find it stable. Will test it even furthur :D

300-16

450- 28

600-38

Am pretty happy with the present speed as there is hardly and sluggishness or lag in my phone.

Give it a try and Share your experience here.

Trust me its worth giving a shot ;)
[Defy General] Sidz4u:
Nobody tried it yet ?? :P
[Defy General] iammodo:
Have you doubled checked the settings in bootmenu?

Or just the app setvels?

I find at 800 its slower to open apps.
[Defy General] TJKV:
Hell, I find 1000MHz too laggy nowadays, i keep it at 1100-62. Increasing vsel3 also helped maintain stability under heavier loads.
[Defy General] saneToMore:
my vsel

im on CM7 RC

300 / 20

500 / 38

800 / 45

im running normally no lag prety god battery life.

just start to undervolt and im on those values for now

but wanna try lower values :D

just wanna know if lower values may do something to the phone.
[Defy General] Sidz4u:
Yea keep on going lower... :D

There is hardly any lag in my ROM and its pretty stable.

For those who find 1Ghz slow, blame ur build :D

At the end of the day, juice really does matters :D
[Defy General] saneToMore:
question

how much juice u think u save?

how much your battery last with cpu oveclocked and how much now ?
[Defy General] kHron0S:
Im on CM7.2 12.01.02 with these settings

300/20

800/45

1250/65

ondemand gov

up load 85

Stepping 50000

and i get 2 days of usage with wireless always connected and synk on and twitdeck updates set at 1 hour, and i think you cant downclock under 800 if u set vsel3 like that it doesent consider it and it loads the default ( on CM is1000,i dont know on miui wich is it)

[Defy General] Sidz4u:
I unplugged my charger today morning with battery full.

>Played Videos for about an hour with full brightness (Moboplayer)

>Listened Music for more than two hours via earphones.

>Browsed the net for about half an hour. (2G)

>My GPRS was connected all the time and Nimbuzz was running in background.

After all this i have 68% battery left ;)

I think thats some performance ;)
[Defy General] Sidz4u:
Dude, u got to be kidding,

firstly at 1.25Ghz, setting vsel to 65 wont be stable and woulld give you hotboots :p:p

Next at that vsel, there is no way that you get 2 days usage that too with wireless "always" connected, Unless you have an Extended battery.(more than 1540mAh) :D:D :p:p

I feel i can actually set my vsel3 below the default cause when i check the CPU through other apps (Elixer or others) and also the System info shows the Processor speed as 600 Mhz.
[Defy General] yamandude:
could anyone please tell me ... how did you get that 'WajkIUI' logo there in system details !?? ... i always get 'MIUI' logo there .. :(
[Defy General] Sidz4u:
Just flash the latest build of WajkIUI from the WajkIUI thread and u'll get the new logo ;)

The latest one is WajkIUI 2.1.6
[Defy General] pravarth:
All games use the gpu for rendering and dont completely use the cpu, the homescreen scrolling, effects are also mostly done the gpu (yes, even without full harware accelerated UI). So underclocking wouldnt have affected that much.

I know this because ive tried a series of vsel - clock combos from 800-38 to 1200-64 and noticed slight inc/dec in performance for games and homescreen scrolling.

But, it obviously affects processes that require the use of cpu. The one that i could notice right away was in the browser. It was noticeably slower in loading pages.

So basically its a matter of choosing b/w power vs battery and finding the right balance.

I use 900-40 600-28 300-16 and if i need more power i use 1200-62(ms2ginger)
[Defy General] yamandude:
I've done that ! .... again ! .... still miui logo comes. ... :( ... done both ICS version and the normal one ..... any ideas ?

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

And Yea @pravarth. .. ure right man. ... on these super low settings browsing and many other CPU intensive activities do take a hit. ..

And yes .... that wajkiui logo thing was somewhat related to the themes .... got it now :))
[Defy General] saneToMore:
another question

also wanna know what scaling governor are you using

is ondemand or are you using a custon governor ?

thanks
[Defy General] kHron0S:
Im to lazy to make a battery spy stat to show it to you and second my first max vsel was 1270/66 but i had problems with the wireles not startin from the start and i downclocked to 1250/65 and for me its perfectly stable.

Sent from my MoTo.MB525 with XDApp.
[Defy General] vinhomn:
the rom you use?? I nerver get lower than 900/46, or the phone will restart.
[Defy General] yamandude:
He mentioned ms2ginger :P. ... ;)
[Defy General] pravarth:
Yeah it varies from phone to phone. I can even do 1000-46 and it is pretty stable. Rarely freezes.

RandomKing's Android Kitchen​

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

First and foremost, I will not be providing intricate and detailed directions with this.

This will remove almost any need to ever have to enter command-line code by simplifying everything into simple menus and performing the code for you!

I only take partial claim to this, as I've only written the over-arching interface and the smali/baksmali interface.

This is provided primarily for personal modifications. Please do not make a few minor changes to an existing rom and call it your own.

WHAT IS PROVIDED:

Quite simply, this is a menu-based interface coupled with nearly all of the .jars, packages, and files necessary for android development. Using this you can decompile/compile .apks and the vast assortment of features associated with this as well as baksmali/smali .dex files and even sign your .zips! This is the interface I currently personally use to streamline my edits combined into an easy installer. This will create a shortcut in your start menu, as well as provide an uninstaller. I'm always looking to streamline more!

Decompile framework-res.apk and systemui.apk for theming purposes!

Rebuild framework.jar to include the latest mod that your favorite rom just doesn't have!

Etc!

WHAT ELSE IS NEEDED:

Java [For functionality]

Gimp [For png and .9.png editing]

Winmerge [For easily identifying file changes]

Notepad++ [For smali and xml edits]

7zip Archiver [For creating/managing .zips]

A general knowledge of everything mentioned!

INCLUDED FEATURES:

Apk Manager 5.0.2 by raziel23x

-Zipalign

-Apk Tool

-More

Dex Manager 1.0.0 by RandomKing

-Smali

-Baksmali

AutoSigner by Stericson

DOWNLOADS:

>>Android Kitchen 1.0.4<<

>>Alternate Download<<

(Rename from '.bin' to '.msi'.)

CHANGELOG:

Version 1.0.4

-Removed rogue classes file (reduced install size)

-Fixed shortcut

Version 1.0.3

-Redesigned AutoSigner menu in line with overall menu

-New versions should install over old versions

-Version number shown in cmd header

-New splash screen

Version 1.0.2

-Added shortcut to kitchen folder for easier file management

Version 1.0.1

-Fixed issue with APK Manager not including requisite folders

KNOWN ISSUES:

-When using my Dex manager to Smali/Baksmali, it may say "File Not Found" and appear to work anyway. It will work anyway. All this indicates is that prior to performing its function it is removing a preexisting directory or classes.dex to avoid overwrite issues and that none currently exists.

-Sometimes baksmali will not properly perform, but running it again usually solves that.

I post this in 'General' under the assumption that most users in the 'Development' forum can do all of this and more without my help.​

I figure, some people are daunted by command lines. Plus it can be tiresome. But even more so, some that want to try their hand at developing (the only way to learn it!) don't know where or what tools to find. I made this some time ago, and have been adjusting it ever since to my liking.

[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
Yup, this is how I've been doing it for a while now.

The developers of ApkTool, and subsequently Apk Manager are the ones that gave me the idea... why not one cmd interface to rule all of my programming needs?

No problem, I figured I'd finally made it as user-friendly as possible. I had a lot of trouble keeping all the necessary codes memorized, and smali edits to framework.jars was my biggest annoyance!

:D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FSUSeminole:
Hey guys, I've seen a lot of folks out there posting screen shots of 20+hrs with battery still remaining. I'd consider myself a heavy user, so maybe I shouldn't expect that... I run the Juggernaut ROM with Bullet kernel... Just recently switched to 4.1.

I've seen folks say that Faux's kernel is better... and tons of them are under volting? I'm not sure if they're over clocking AND under volting, or what...

Some are using SetCPU, some System Tuner, others using Faux's CPU app...

I see some users swearing by Juice Defender and other software too...

So my question is, for someone like me who wants to get better battery life without sacrificing connectivity (I use push for my gmail/exchange and want to keep it that way) what have you guys had the best luck with?

I use a lot of widgets (agenda widget, facebook, and Google News, Beautiful 4x1 Weather widget, and large Gtask widget) but I've been very careful to set them to refresh at reasonable intervals to avoid hammering my battery.

I run mostly with WiFi on at the house, but if I'm out on the road or at work, I keep it off.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCapcom:
One of the biggest things I do on my Prime is watching Anime. And I noticed that lately some of my newest anime shows won't work correctly. Most of them are tagged with a 720p 10bit in the filename. I know the prime works with 1080p so why wouldn't this work? I dug around and found out that its like a high profile 720p and on most computers the screen will come up green and if so just update your player (I use cccp) and it should work. So it seems like its software and not really a hardware limit. Has anyone found a app that handles 10bit files? I tried dice/stock/bplayer/mkplayer and they all kinda work slowly or have studders but play my 1080p or 720p 8bit ones fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] optimiss:
Yeah you need a media player that can decode Hi10p videos to have them play without artifacts. I'll poke around and see if I can find any that do. I have some Hi10p files I'd like to play as well.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Apparently MoboPlayer can decode Hi10P videos but only in software, so I'm not sure how the Prime will handle it. I can't test it out till I get my tablet tomorrow but let me know if you do. I've got a 1080p Hi10P copy of Redline I am eager to see on that gorgeous display!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCapcom:
Cool thanks a bunch ill test it too when I get home. I deleted the 10bit files last night. And with the quad cores I doubt it wouldn't work I played the same file flawlessly last night on my dell 3ghz dual core with crappy on board video and 4 gb ram. I can't see why the prime couldn't handle it.

Which one is it?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
It's 4 cores but clocked at max 1.3 Ghz and also ARM not x86. Still, I think they should be enough to decode anything. :) At least they have NEON extention, which should be used for decoding by software players (Tegra2 didn't have it).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] addisdar:
Try BS Player.... I tried DICE, MX and Mobo, Vplayer, etc last night and BS was the only one that would play everything (even 1080p) smoothly, even over a network connection from my server. If you use it over a network, go into BS Player and use its LAN mode. For local playing content, change the decoder to the system hardware decoder and not the BSEngine hardware decoder. Works so much better.

I've tried almost every player and I've conceded to the fact that one doesn't exist. 10bit encoding has only just begun to be supported within the last few months within the big codec packs and such. But I have faith that eventually we will see support for it on the android platform.
